Episode 7: Mick Tighe - ”I got shot, but only in the bottom”

Tucked away up in Glen Roy, Lochaber, lives one of Scotlands most prolific first ascensionists with potentially over 1000 new routes to his name, a pioneer in the evolution of Scottish Mountain Rescue and collector of historic climbing equipment with the Scottish Mountain Heritage Collection, a true Scottish climbing hero. Mick Tighe invited Robert in to chat history, military, climbing, mountain rescue and more.  

Mick also puts out a request for artists and sculptors to contact him at www.smhc.co.uk if they fancy a lockdown project using some of his vast collection of ice screws and metal work. 

Grab a brew and enjoy the chat with Mick Tighe.
